What if you could remember every last detail of your life?

Eve knows what her colleagues had for lunch last April. She remembers everyone who passes through the care home she works at long after they’ve gone. Like her museum of tiny treasures, her life is small and manageable.

And what if you couldn’t even remember your name?

‘Adam’ is found wandering down the central reservation of the M25. He has no memory of how he came to be there.

As Eve works with Adam to help him discover who he once was, her world begins to open up. But when Adam remembers his past, can Eve possibly be part of his future?

A very heartwarming moving and often funny book that will surely make you see life & all it throws at us, in a different way... a beautiful read.

Entertaining, funny and full of wisdom, I loved this book
Booklist
Inspiration in a bottle. Author Woods uses her novel- inspired by a social-media hashtag-to explore the exhilaration of new friendship, the power of loss, and the evergreen tendrils of hope
Kirkus Reviews
Heartfelt and charming

full of insight and wisdom and unputdownable.
Publishers Weekly
Delightful page-turning awaits readers, even with Polly's inevitable finale. Polly is a wonderful character with a positively infectious attitude-memorable and magnetic, with a healthy dose of gallows humor. Joy shines through the tears, as this novel is a life lesson that should not be ignored.
Rosie Blake
A joyful, wise read
Lori Nelson Spielman, #1 international bestselling author of The Life List
Filled with beautiful life lessons of love, loss, friendship, and forgiveness...a perfect feel-good read. A warm, funny, thoughtful novel packed with heart and charged with emotion.

I read this recently and loved it SO much. I cried buckets, but it's ultimately a really positive, uplifting book about making every day count.
